Form items inside multiple value tables not scaling correctly

Problem/Motivation

When form fields are given unlimited cardinality, they are placed in a table. When the page responsively re-sizes, at some widths, the fields inside the table cease to scale. This causes other elements to overlap them, making them difficult or impossible to use. This is not an issue when the fields are not in the multiple cardinality table.

This case is made worse when Vertical Tabs come in to play. Even though these are themselves responsive so that they become accordions at a set width, unless you are willing to set the accordion breakpoint setting very high (1480px+) the issue persists.

This is an issue across at least the following: Chrome 53, Firefox 49.

See screenshots for more details.

Proposed resolution

Add in specific css rules and breakpoints for the points at which the layout breaks for multiple cardinality fields.

Remaining tasks

  • Test across more use/edge cases
  • Investigate if this is the best way to achieve a "fix" or if it is a bit heavy-handed.

User interface changes

Add a rule to set these elements to use 100% width at certain breakpoints when they appear inside multiple cardinality tables, or inside multiple cardinality tables inside vertical tabs.
